So tickled, having an opportunity to join with Deb n' company at Breathing in Grace for another episode of Friday Foto Friends!
So thank-FULL for son and DIL's invite to join them for a little get-together on Independence Day. Thankful, too, for a rain-free afternoon! Knock wood, I'm actually becoming accustomed to the humidity here … so much nicer than Arizona's blast-furnace-like conditions.
There was an amazing array of goodies -- fresh lemonade, burgers the size of small roasts, Conecuh sausage, fresh vegetables and (my downfall) a trifle of banana pudding. One bite and all my 'keto' resolve went flying out the window! I'm kicking myself for not capturing an image of those huge burgers!
As usual, flowers from my DIL's front yard provided just the right touch. She makes everything seem so effortless!
These are actually called fireworks. Neat!
Oh yeah, there was hilarity, too.
I can't figure how to upload the video here, but someone challenged Sarah to pick up a piece of paper laying flat on the floor … with her mouth … legs straight with both hands clasped behind her back! Dang if that lithe thing didn't do it!
Every muscle in my body was cringing! (What to do but have another helping of banana pudding!)
If I may … a few snapshots of my favorite souls … stolen borrowed from Sarah's FB page.
Troy, (DIL) Lois, Sarah (and her beau) Josh
(Son says "I was just hoping the picture taking was about to be over with." ... but I disagree. Methinks it's the look of love.)
Molly Jane was captivated by the spinner!
Sisterly love. (I'm guessing this was before Chloe tried to sabotage Sarah's above exercise. lol!)
Chloe and Josh (who stands 6'8"!) being all silly.
Oh yeah!
Since we got here, Tom's been obsessed with finding himself a fishing boat. Sure enough, last week he discovered a 'smoking deal' on FB Marketplace. Unfortunately, it looks like ...
Next stop, Disney 's Jungle Adventure!
Fortunately it's sound as a drum; just needs some TLC … and a new coat of paint! I asked him what he's going to name it, but he looked at me like I was nuts.
So I'm taking it to Blogland. What do you think we should name it?
Happy Friday y'all! Stay cool if you can … be safe!
Hugs,
Myra
Looked like a lot of fun with family on the 4th! I have never had banana pudding, but have run across it at several restaurants that we've been checking out menus (mainly BBQ places). Must remedy that shortly and try some :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like Alabama is a perfect fit for you and Tom!
Name of a boat: Tom's Hideaway?
betty
It's so good to have all the family round. We had a get together lately - it was great fun and a very hot day. Here in the UK it is about 30 degrees C in the shade. I keep out of the shade.

God bless you all.
Looks like you all had a lot of fun and the food sounds good to. Have a happy weekend.

ReplyDeleteI'm late reading blogs this time around, but it's great that you were able to spend the 4th with family.
ReplyDeleteYour description of the food made me drool...
I don't know what to name it...striped bass boat? I hope Tom is real lucky catching fish in it. Sounds like your 4th was perfect! It finally rained a little here tonight. Praying for so much more. Soooo dry!
